IPS/TN/VA panels

[Matttaj69]

Hi,

What is the difference between IPS, TN and VA panels? (I am looking for the technical information, not a color, brightness or whatever). 

I am pretty sure that this was discussed earlier on this site, but I am lazy to find so please help me...

TN panels are another good choice for competitive gamers, as they support higher refresh rates, low response times, decent input lag, and high resolutions. Their bad viewing angles, color reproduction, and slight blurring compared to CRT monitors (due to higher response times) are all disadvantages, ones which cannot be easily fixed.

IPS panels solve the issues of TN panels, with better color reproduction and viewing angles, but do so at the cost of refresh rate and response time. IPS panels are especially useful for those not wanting to play too competitively, but want a beautiful/immersive visual experience. PLS and AHVA are similar enough to IPS to usually not be differentiated.

VA panels provide a good middle ground with better-than-IPS refresh rates and contrast levels, but have worse viewing angles and color production, although generally still better than TN. Response times are VA’s largest downfall, though, being slower than IPS and its variants and TN. No by much the respons eitme around 4ms.

IPS best color depth brightness. TN fast response time and hz but not best color and good black, VA (my option) the in between the two others, but all with fast response time, and fast hz.

If you can find/afford a 144hz 1ms ips then thats what i would do.

Thanks, actually, really helpful (seriously), but read what I wrote in the brackets. thanks

Yeah I just rewrote that so explain that simpler. Yeah I did so why i rewrote looking at that.
